Quick Answer
What is roof and exterior documentation?
Residential roof and exterior documentation is a dated visual record of visible exterior features captured with drone and ground-level images. It gives homeowners organized photos for future reference, but it does not replace inspections, roof certifications, insurance decisions, appraisals, surveys, or engineering evaluations.
